Tag Archive | Retreat

Many guests who stay with us have never stayed at an inn or B and B. They leave saying they really enjoyed their stay and have really enjoyed what we have to offer.

So what do we offer that you can’t get at a hotel? The quick answer is a lot! We have many common areas our guests can use and enjoy. Spread out and enjoy our huge living room, a large screened porch, huge second story deck, and bright sun room. Each room offers many things our guests can enjoy. Our guests can enjoy our many games, puzzles, DVD’s and a DVD player. We have books and a CD player with several Cd’s you can listen to. Our spaces allow for people to sit and enjoy renewing relationships. Unfortunately, when you find a common space at a hotel it is often over run by noisy children. The Inn is an adult only facility which allow you to relax and chill from life’s stresses.

Even our continental breakfast is different (better) than you will find at a hotel. We serve our guests in our formal dining room on fine china. Our table features a nice linen table cloth. No waiting in line to get to the toaster or to get juice or coffee. We serve your meal. We feature fresh fruit, a yogurt parfait, fresh coffee and real juice. Our ice and water are filtered to enhance the taste. We offer a fresh meat and cheese tray and fresh hard boiled eggs. Everything we do is about giving you an enjoyable experience.

We offer each guest a warm cozy robe for their use, the bed linens are high quality and our beds are comfortable. We use wonderful antiques to decorate each room. No detail is overlooked! We pride ourselves in making every aspect our your stay enjoyable. Our guests give us 5 stars on TripAdvisor and our guests make very nice comments about their stay on TripAdvisor, Facebook, and in the guest books we have in each of our guest rooms.

There is a difference. Come stay with us so you too can discover what makes the Maple Knoll Inn a wonderful place to stay.

We know our area and what is going on, so call us and we can help you plan your stay. When can we expect you?

If your not into hiking or biking why not visit one of our local wineries. Many of the wineries have fall music or activities. Enjoy one of their great wine tastings while sitting by a warm fire. Invite your friends to use the help you enjoy the experience. Take the short drive to Burnett Dairy and Cheese Store, Burnett, Wisconsin. Enjoy some of their fresh cheese or ice cream. Take a ride on the St. Croix River on a paddle boat, visit the Hinckley Fire Museum, or (if you feel lucky) visit the Grand Casino Hinckley.

Join us for our biggest festival of the year and celebrate the natural beauty of the St. Croix Valley, at our annual Grape Stomp! Enjoy fantastic food, wine tasting, shopping at artisan booths, live music, wagon rides, and of course, grape stomping.

This is really a fun festival with great music and wine. The Dancing Dragonfly is only 30 minutes from the Inn.

There are some very nice motel/hotels, but if you stay at a B and B you get so much more than a motel/hotel.

Each B and B offers a unique experience including some great amenities and a great atmosphere. At the Maple Knoll Inn we offer the following:

The House – Built in 1914 and features original hardwood floors and wooden built-in china cabinets and book cases. We have worked hard to keep the look and feel of the period of the house, including push button light switches, tiled bathrooms, and antique furnishings through out the house. In our dinning room we serve our guests breakfast on fine china and use antique glassware and “real” silverware. The house and grounds have a character all there own. Located on 3 nicely landscaped acres filled with mature oak and maple trees, it is a wonderful location. The home was once the home of an area doctor. The house is still known as the Doc Halpin House, to local residents.

Amenities – We have three beautifully appointed rooms each with their own personal style. Each room has a queen size bed. We use only high quality linens. We supply plush robes you can use during your stay. Each bedroom has it’s own private bathroom with wonderful soft plush towels. Two of the bathrooms feature large tiled over-sized showers with dual shower heads. One of the bathrooms features a wonderful claw footed tub with a shower. Whenever possible, we feature organic food and coffee. The house features spacious guest sitting areas such as our large living room, dining room, and second floor sitting room we call our “Sun Room”. Rush Creek runs through our property. In warm weather, use our screen porch or large second floor deck. We offer a wonderful continental breakfast during the week. The continental breakfast is served in our dining, no standing in line to get at table or food. You eat off real china with real antique silverware. On the weekends we offer a full breakfast. Consisting of one of our great signature dishes.

Atmosphere – The Inn provides a great setting for romance, relaxation, or to renew your relationships. Relax in our living room or sun room. After dark, enjoy what you can’t see in the city – the stars. The sky is beautiful away from the city lights. The Inn is great for a girls weekend, a team building event, or themed weekend, such as our Murder Mystery event or scrap-booking/quilting weekend. Play a game (we have many to choose from) watch a movie, read a book or search the web on our free WiFi. The Inn is a great place to use as a “jumping off point” to explore and enjoy the many things to do and see in the area – fishing, boating, kayaking, wine tasting, biking, cycling, hiking, golf, indoor golf, antiquing, thrift store/outlet store shopping, sight-seeing or enjoying one of the many festivals and fairs in the area. Before leaving each morning treat yourself to one of our sensational breakfasts.

The Inn has so much more to offer than a hotel or motel. No noisy kids running up and down the halls! Comfortable and spacious it is more like home than a overnight travel stop. If you have never stayed at a bed and breakfast, you don’t know what you are missing!

Weekend dates are filling fast so make your reservation, today. We look forward to seeing you.
